A1C was 7, Blood pressure has not been a problem, but the last visit it was 142/74.

Brief Answer:
mostly chronic nephropathy of diabetes may be the issue here.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.
* As per my clinical experience, the cause of protein in the urine at high levels in a diabetic patient is usually associated with chronic nephropathy from diabetes affecting filtration, absorption properties of the urinary tubules.
* Still if you can provide all the reports of lab, ultrasound if any as an attachment in follow up conversation, I would be able to focus more precisely over the same.
Awaiting for your response.
Regards.
